Me again! We're really going to have to stop meeting this way! Now, on a more serious note, I take both Celexa and bupropion with my Bentyl. Not a problem in sight and it's been at least a couple of years or longer that I've done all three together. Lisa

You're so funny! No way... you take antidepressants also? We really do have a lot in common! I also take buspar for anxiety though. How much wellbutrin? I need to take 300mg (SR), but I don't know how that amount is going to work out for me since it seems to constipate me at that dose... Arrgghh! I feel like I'm on a merry-go-round.

I also take 300 mgs of wellbutrin daily. I take 150 in the morning and another 150 at night. It doesn't seem to constipate me, I think the Bentyl helps regulate my system. So perhaps that will help you in the same way.

Yes Lisa01; IT'S NOT going to do you any good in the bottle take it. But always start a medication when you don't have to be going out. They have to put so much stuff in the patient info that it is crazy. Scare the crap out of everyone that the doctor has already decided that the benefits far out way the risk of the medication. I see many people taking this combination. Just remember this is one of the medications that you can feel a bit funny for the first week or two as the medication and your system get used to each other then those side effects go away and you continue to take it about the same time each day. If you really look seizures are very rare the only ones that this is something to worry about is if your an epileptic to start with then I would talk more with the doctor about it but your also on a low dose for most people. Best of luck and please take the medication just as directed. Very few have a lot of problems with it. okay hope you have a great weekend Chuck1957

THIS MESSAGE ABOVE THAT I PUT LISA01 ON WHEN I HIT COMMENT THAT IS THE NAME IT CAME UP WITH I AM VERY SORRY THIS ANSWER IS FOR.*****(((( indigogirl ))))) guess I well have to watch when I comment right below the person to make sure the right name comes up. again sorry for the confusion. and @@@@ indigogirl @@@@ again please read my response and start your medication it won't do you any good in the bottle, And has been proven to be very effective for most people it is very rare for the side effects to happen on the dose your doctor has given you Chuck1957 AGAIN I AM SO SORRY LISA Chuck.

indigogirl and Lisa01 again my comment line did not work for so long and now that it is I am going to have to learn and look more sorry if I confused anyone. Chuck1957 stupid me still learning I could not hit comment for at least a year now all of a sudden I can friend people again and also hit the comment line. nice to see you to Stephen. hope all is well this after treatment of chemotherapy is as bad as the treatment it's self how all is well with you my friend. Chuck1957

indigogirl ; Thank you so much Indigogirl, I feel so much better now that both of you got my answer at the same time almost and I was able to clear this up. It upsets me so much when my chemo-brain kicks in and something like this happens. Glad you understood what I was trying to get across. But really as you can see not that it is impossible to get a side effect but it gets very confusing it's good to know about what to look for but you should be just fine and on the dose your on not near as much to worry about. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope it does the job for you. Again thanks so much for Understanding my error. I am so much harder on myself than others. that is also the Virgo in me. lol enjoy your day. my friend and please keep In contact. this is a great place with many people more than willing to help each other.Chuck1957

G mc; yup me again too; Yes I agree with everyone here I take it as needed and no problems at all just feel the benefits of taking it and it should help you to. This is a real old timer but works better than anything else I now of. If the constipation continues ask about taking some Dss100mg generic for Colace very safe I take it twice a day and it's just a stool softener not a laxative so your body does not become addicted to it. But to get it to work you do have to take it every day. plus I try to eat salads etc.. fiber type food. Best of luck Chuck1957

Lisa01; Thank you so much for understanding I come on when I'm felling a bit better or too restless and that does not help but now that even both of you have answered I feel so much better. that the right person got the right answer. I read many when I am up to it Lisa and have to say I agree with a lot of your answers you are a big benefit. I just seen an answer to M cg about reading all the side effects and could not have said it better fantastic job. It is really sad that they have to put so much stuff in the patient ed. papers that it scares the heck out of people and most don't even know that some of those side effects did not have to even happen with that medication but could have been a side effect from a medication that is in the same group of medications. I get so upset with the way it works and mores so for the med.phobias out here and there are so many. IF in dough this is a good reason to always get your meds at the same pharmacy and doctor get to know them well. Chuck have a great weekend my friend.
